Man, that was a lifeless team we fielded out there. We've had a lot of games the last 17 days, and our coach keeps rolling out the same roster. The funny thing is we have no injuries and some decent depth on the bench (why Renteria doesn't start I will never know).

But yea, I actually missed the game yesterday. I passed out on the couch for like three hours and by the time 6:30 rolled around I just didn't have it in me. Kind of glad I missed it to be honest.

invalid - Oh and this is worth mentioning. Last night some assbag threw a brat (it was Buck a Brat night) at Nielsen, the KC keeper. It hit him in the head.

The dude smiled, took a bite out of it (actually swallowed it, didn't spit it out) and threw it back.

That guy is officially the shit haha. Free pass for life, Mr. Nielsen.

Oh man that's just classic.

I love it when keepers can have a laugh with the opposing fans. It doesn't happen enough in MLS.

Sorensen when he was with Aston Villa is the only keeper I've ever seen break down and laugh at some of the comments and actually clap back for all the stick he was getting. This was during a friendly with TFC.

Sadly he got stretchered off hurting himself on our shoddy turf during a goal kick. He didn't enjoy the jeers so much then and I don't blame him.

And for those who don't know the story, here's all you need to know about Nery Castillo:

"On 31 July 2007, Castillo joined Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk on a five-year contract for a fee of €20 million. This became the most expensive transfer for a Ukrainian club to date. Castillo had only played in a few games for Shakhtar when in a league match versus FC Naftovyk-Ukrnafta Okhtyrka, Shakhtar won a penalty kick. Castillo refused to give the ball to official penalty kick-taker Cristiano Lucarelli and took the penalty himself, which was saved. Castillo was immediately substituted from the game. Coach Mircea Lucescu commented "What Castillo did, from a professional point of view, I've never seen anything like it before in my whole life. There will be some measures taken against Castillo". He has not played a game for Shakhtar since."

He only played 12 matches for Shakhtar, was shite in his loan stint at Man Citeh, and did nothing after he was loaned to another Ukranian club last year. He's obviously got some talent if Shakhtar was willing to splash out €20 million on him, but I smell a disaster waiting to happen.

Jesus. I mean I instictively hate pretty much any El Tri player, but that guy actually deserves it from the sounds of it.

On the other end of the spectrum, Henry was in Columbus this weekend even though he wasn't officially traveling with the team. This dude might be the anti-Beckham. He arrived in a regular Yellow Cab, signed as many autographs for some kids as he could, did some interviews, and basically was a pretty down to Earth and laid back guy from the looks of things. Kind of refreshing.

That's pretty cool stuff about Henry. Too bad he's a Red Bull player and I can't like him...

And I completely agree with you about El Tri players. Unfortunately for me, due to Chicago's huge Mexican population, I have to deal with some of those hated El Tri playing on my club from time to time. I try to keep an open mind though. Some have won me over (Blanco, for example), others have just confirmed my reasons for hating them (Jorge Campos can eat me). We'll see how it goes for Castillo, but his reputation has preceded him and it's not looking good

Good. That guy went from blue collar to primadonna in a season. Fuck right off, Freddie.

Gotta imagine he's not too great to be around in the locker room.

Last night's Philly/ManU friendly was pretty good. Better than I expected, actually. Philly played their second string the second half and gave up a late goal 1-0. ManU rolled out their youngsters as well.

We have a run in with our old friend Amado Guevara tonight in our game against Motagua. Should be a really tough test.

I've watched most of the other friendlies so far, and think United will look a lot different come the Allstar game, but it has been fun to watch. Giggs was on the verge of completely losing it against KC.

looks like the MLS all stars are trying to give the USMNT a run for their money with fastest goal allowed in a match...typical U.S. defensive errors. already 2-nil, all stars look flat on the pitch and clueless.
